Fit For Life Diet Information

The Fit For Life diet is a food combining diet that recommends eating specific combinations of foods at certain times of the day. The authors of the book 'Fit For Life' Harvey and Marilyn Diamond devised it in the early 80s. The diet is made up of 70% fruits and vegetables with all other foods making up the other 30%. There is no calorie counting or portion control, as the authors believe that poorly combining foods and not overeating or lack of exercise causes weight gain. The diet claims that eating foods incorrectly will cause them to become rotten and not be digested properly causing fat to be stored and wasting the bodies energy. So by following the proper food combining rules and timings the outcome will be better health, more energy and significant weight loss. There will be weight loss on this diet but it is due to the high proportion of low calorie foods.
